The Dart(s) Board

3-1 that sounds familiar!

Golden Goal: 3 minutes
50/50: £140 - 06561

4-1 og.

5-1 Azeez hat-trick.

FT 5-1.

Very comfortable win but credit to Hythe who knocked it about well at times although i did feel we still had a lot more in the tank.

Attendance 816 which is pretty good for this stage of the competition.

Classy touch at the end from Jake Robinson retrieving the match ball for Ade.

Tom Bonner, Danny Leonard and Ade Azeez pick of the bunch for me but MOTM - Ade Azeez.

Thought both the new signings this week looked very promising

Ade Azeez completes his Hatrick https://youtu.be/jTti1URkEpk

I thought so at the time but wasn't sure, but that's a perfect hat trick from Ade! He's definitely my vote for MOTM

Solid performance all round today and great to be in the hat for the next round. Hopefully another home draw awaits

Apart from their goal and for 5 minutes after we never looked in any trouble today and the new additions appear to be an improvement. Credit must also go to our opponents who were outclassed for long periods but managed to score a quality goal. I think this was down to their No.8 (Oldacre), the ex Gillingham player who looked a class act.

As for our opponents last week (Tonbridge), they were soundly beaten at Hayes & Yeading.

I don't think we ever got out of second gear but the gulf between the two teams was huge and that was more than enough to run out comfortable winners. Credit to Hythe, they did try to play a bit of football and scored a decent goal, but the outcome never looked in doubt. In all honesty I think we played better last week, but today we did what we needed to and you can't complain with a 5-1 win. Motm has to be Ade.

Comfortable victory for The Darts today against Hythe , and has someone has already said we never really got out of second gear , but there was a period of the game when soon after their equaliser , Hythe had a couple of chances to take the lead , and CK was called upon to make a decent save. But overall it was comfortable for the Darts and Ade deserved his Motm .

Thought today was classic ‘How not to lose a Banana Skin game’!!
Scored early, they have a good spell & score a good goal but then the gulf in class showed & we finished them off with aplomb!!

Enjoyable game though they seemed to carved straight through us for their goal - luckily that was the best they could manage. Danny Leonard MoM for me as he was a threat all the time he was on the pitch and scored a classy goal.
We seem to be obsessed with watering the pitch lately - is this because of global warming??

I dunno WHY the pitch keeps getting watered so much, but at times it clearly causes the turf to get cut up and footing to be lost. Time for a bit of a rethink?

My MoM also has to go to Danny Leonard, with a fantastic solo goal and assists for the 1st and the penalty after great ball control, he was a threat throughout the game. What a signing he's been.

I’d echo the ‘banana skin!’ comment. A cup upset was ‘on’ but not for long. We dealt with that in a professional manner. Ade Azeez MOTM.

If the manager didn't want the pitch watered at half time then I'm sure it wouldn't be happening. He must have his reasons. Whatever the reason, it seems to be working. They can run the sprinklers for the whole 90 minutes for all I care, as long as we keep getting the results.

You need plenty of water on the pitch for the 2nd half subs.

An excellent result today and a job well done by the sounds of it.
Gutted I missed the game but was at an Olly Murs concert at the Hop Farm with my wife & daughter.
Poor Trevor B missed the game as he was playing taxi for us, sorry Dad .
Hopefully look forward to a home draw in the next round.

Thanks to KST as usual for the goal footage.
